Top skin cleco pattern, the Synergy way

Getting ready to cleco the top wing skin in preparation for riveting, someone posted that Synergy had a pattern they use, that might be different from Van’s....start in the mid-point on the wing skin and work alternating up and down on the rib as you work simultaneously across the front and rear spar towards the wing root and wing tip respectively.
Cleco/ rivet track:
Green dot= start

Sequence: A1/B1/A2/A3/B2/B3

Is this good methodology or is the “ Synergy way” different or better?
Thanks

I was gong to fix your link for you but you really should resize those images to no more than 900 pixels wide...

But yes, Synergy's rivet pattern worked well for me.

So, what was the Synergy pattern? Sorry about the picture size. It’s a percentage as I understand it.....not too good at the digital imagery stuff, but I’ve flown centered needles on props,Jets, and helo’s and yanked more g’s and seen the world turn in more axis that most could imagine, if that counts for anything.
